The nurses protested, saying it is not allowed at hospital but the KMA boss insisted in Twi “meye Kumasiwura”, meaning I am the owner of Kumasi which gave an urge to the members of the team who were bent on taken pictures and video.In another development, another man attacked and shot in a reprisal attack at Ashanti New Town is also responding to treatment.The unidentified man shot in the left leg around the knee joint received multiple gunshot wounds and currently at C2 Ward at the Komfo Anokye Hospital.
